Honkarakenne Oyj is launching co-operation negotiations to reduce the number of locations with the aim of consolidating operations in Finland. The consolidation plans cover the company’s entire staff in Finland.

The co-operation negotiations are estimated to be completed by the end of December 2012. The negotiations concern all personnel groups.
